@Elías *******

hi where do u find the option to link a credit card to top up truemoney with? I cant seem to find it 🙏🏼

@Callum *******

just curious how did the embassy find out you have left England and is in Thailand already?

We opened our accounts in Feb this year in Phuket. Got our DTVs in may/june just as the crackdown began. Accounts frozen from june. We tried to save it by sending in a whole bunch of documents, wise and home country bank statements to prove transactions aren’t hanky-panky, home country id and business details, dtv documents sent into the embassy, one year house lease, landlords id, blue book, thai driving license, everything we could think of. Unfortunately they still had to close our accounts.

@Jef *******

😉no wonder! Thanks anyways 👍🏼

@Jef *******

hi may i ask where and how? Ours got closed unfortunately. But still always on the look out for the chance to open one again. Thanks!

and you can only open a bank account for a retirement visa. Still not possible for a DTV?

I have flown in and out of Thailand 4 times since getting the DTV in May 2025. Latest one I stayed 3 days, upon entry at DMK the IO accidentally gave me a 60 days visa exempt and he kept apologizing when I told him I’m on the DTV. It was all good, I was just glad I didnt get any extra questioning!

I went to the main immigration office in Phuket just 2 weeks ago. Paid 500baht and got the residence certificate in a half hour ☺️
